Contributing to groot-share-selfhosted

Thank you for helping improve these deployment manifests.

How to contribute

• Issues: Use GitHub Issues for bugs, doc gaps, or manifest improvements (Compose, Helm, systemd).
• Pull requests: Open PRs against develop. Keep changes focused.
• Application behavior (HTTP API, auth, retention, UI): contribute in groot-share — this repo is infrastructure only.

Checks before submitting

• Paths under run/ match the documented layout.
• From the clone root: make release-check (Compose config; Helm lint + template + kubeconform).
• English for README and comments.
• If you bump VERSION, keep the README Version badge and CHANGELOG aligned.
• .gitignore is deny-all + whitelist — new top-level paths need an explicit ! allow rule.
• Do not commit live .env, bootstrap passwords, or AWS_* keys.

Git flow

• Day-to-day work on develop.
• main holds reviewed snapshots; annotated tags v<semver> on main for infra releases.
